Shrek
Very few films win 73% of their matchups. Shrek does — across 137 head-to-head comparisons, placing it among the best-performing films tracked here. Few family films work this hard for the grown-ups in the room: the fractured-fairy-tale spoofs, the pop needle-drops, the jokes pitched clean over the kids' heads. That two-level comedy gives it a presence on a ballot that safer, kid-only cartoons can't answer, playing as entertainment for the whole couch rather than babysitting. It sits at the top of the 2000s — the decade's strongest bracket performer.
Synopsis
It ain't easy bein' green -- especially if you're a likable (albeit smelly) ogre named Shrek. On a mission to retrieve a gorgeous princess from the clutches of a fire-breathing dragon, Shrek teams up with an unlikely compatriot -- a wisecracking donkey.
The finals at 62% are technically Shrek's weakest round. In context, 62% in finals is still well above average — the dip is relative, not real weakness.
At 53%, the matchup with How to Train Your Dragon is the tightest in Shrek's record — close enough to go either way. The 86% rate against Chicken Run is among the most lopsided in Shrek's history. The Wild Robot at 78% is another comfortable win.
The DreamWorks Originals final between Shrek and How to Train Your Dragon is genuinely contested at 53%. Neither film has established clear control.
